Overrated

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I love this movie! I wish they still showed it on TV like they do The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, and other movies like Gone With the Wind. I love all of the actors in this movie. I love Stuart Damon and Leslie Ann singing together. I thought he was my prince. This is one of the movies that takes me back to my childhood. I still remember all of the songs! I wish that they would sing together again on a show or have a show where they sing all of the songs from the movie. After they get through singing the songs they need to show the old movie again. Most children today don't know what a good movie is or what good music is. I hope they will show this on Hallmark!

As a child, this was one of few versions I saw back then of Cinderella....and this one is my favorite.The songs are memorable.....and I own a copy on VHS. Have not seen it on DVD anywhere. Watching it again at age 56 (I was 8 years old in 1965), it warmed my heart as I sang along.....and watched it all over again being transported back in time to an age of innocence.It is my prayer that all the actors are doing well in health and in the other aspects of their lives.If you are looking for an innocent, clean Cinderella story....this is the one. Of course there is Disney also, but in my book this version beats Disney because it is a live theatrical version.

This excellent version of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is a class act. This is a far better version than the 1957 original television production which was awful.Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon are just wonderful and elegant as Cinderella and her prince respectively. Their voices ring true to happiness.Jo Van Fleet again proves her adeptness at being a difficult mother. This time, she does it in a comedic way. Her scene with the prince at the ball is a riot. Looking at herself in the mirror, she knows what she is.Celeste Holm should be everyone's fairy god-mother. She has always been a voice for toleration from her scenes in "Gentleman's Agreement," and she shows it again in this fine production.Get to your video stores and have the kiddies see this wonderful movie. They'll yell for more.

My girlfriend and I were up late tonight, thinking about all the TV shows and movies that were are favorites when we were little. I almost immediately thought of this movie. I remember watching it and then having my mother tape it so my sisters and I could watch it whenever. We fell in love with it. We would act it out and try to recite the songs for hours on end after watching it. I can remember just humming the tune of the songs in the movie because I was too young to catch onto the words-sometimes I remember just making up my own words because I wanted to be just like Cinderella. Now-that was when I was seven or so. Today, I am 18 years old and am in college and still love this fairytale. Well, fairy tales in general. Just remembering the movie brought back so many memories and wonderful times spent with my sisters. This website has made me want to seriously run out and find where I can buy this movie. I will get it as soon as possible! I will always remember and treasure this movie. I can especially remember idolizing the actress that played Cinderella and wanting to be just like her someday. And honestly, I'm still wishing and praying that it will happen-someday I'll find my Prince. Thanks again SO much for these wonderful memories!
